That is until a Mystery Man decided to just help her get something off the top shelf at the grocery store and soon everythin...

The Mansion was getting smaller and smaller on the side mirror of the car. I couldn't help the tears that escaped my eyes. Maybe this type of life and relationship wasn't for me after all.
I already had this feeling of a knife being inserted into my ribcage whenever I would think of Enzo. Of his face, his eyes, his hands, everything about him.
I closed my eyes shut and took a deep breath resting my head against the headrest of the seat. I could feel myself shake. I was damn scared about leaving everything I knew behind, but for my safety and for Enzo's sanity I had to get out of the picture.
I felt a lump forming in my throat when I felt the car stopping and saw the airport on my right hand side.
I looked over to Matteo who had a very indescribable look on his face. A mixture of sadness and maybe regret, but of what? I don't think I would ever know.
"You don't have to do this you know? We can still go back and pretend like we really went grocery shopping." he said, almost making me doubt my decision, but I shook my head. My heart wanted to go back to Enzo, but as soon as I pictured that empty room again I shivered, knowing my mind was made.
"Thank you Matteo, for everything, and sorry for dragging you into this." I tell him and he had a small mischievous smile on his face.
"No problem, I just hope he won't kill me." he tells me, and soon a new fear unlocked itself in me.
"If he asks, just tell him I ran away when you told me to go get something on another aisle of the store." I tell him shrugging and he let out a small laugh, which made me smile.
"You know where you are headed to?" he asked me and I nodded,
"Yeah, but I am not telling you. Not because I don't trust you, but because if Enzo asks you won't have to lie to your Capo." I said again, and he could't help but smile.
"That's nice of you, but hey, if you need anything, wherever you are, please call me. I will always be available." he said, and that made me want to tear up on the spot and just cry like a baby, a very ugly baby. But I kept it all together and managed to thank him yet again and opened my door to get out.
"Maggie." he said while I was leaving, I turned around and looked at him. He ran towards me and hugged me, and until that moment I didn't know how much I needed it.
"Take care of you sorella." (sister) he said, I nodded and hugged him tightly once more.
"Take care of you, and take care of him please." I tell him while I was holding my bag in my hand. I saw him nodding and that was all I needed to be able to leave and not turn around again. I knew that if I was to turn around I would never leave.
But to live in fear and stuck in a room is not a way to live. I may come as selfish because, in the end Enzo is only trying to help me, but the fact that he won't even talk to me anymore, or even say a simple hello, was the worst torture ever. I was better off to disappear somewhere far, and start fresh.
